It's crazy because it just give me a whole new take on things. I was mind blown when I first learned this from some friends I have in Fort Meyers some years ago.

You're right but I should have said for someone like me. I'm from Bermuda, born and raised, although i have lived in Canada(Halifax, NS) and England(Newcastle). For me living on a 21 sq. mile island it's unheard of not to ever leave the country, you know, it's just too small.

But you are right, America is fuckin' huge and does have some different, beautiful places that most people would probably never get to see. My uncle who lives in Vancouver, BC, RV's around America for like 2-3months every year.

But like I said for someone like me it's just crazy, but then again I have never lived there. Although I am jealous you guys can just road-trip it pretty much anywhere. Visited some friends who were in school in Orlando a while back and we road-tripped it down to Tampa, then to Miami and down in the Keys. It was sweet too. I'd definitely do it again.
No worries man. The US is indeed expansive and culturally diverse.

Another problem for us is that international travel is more expensive unless we go to Mexico or Canada. If you're anywhere but North America traveling to another country is fairly inexpensive and logistically easier.

I understand why there isn't a need to travel outside of the US though
It's odd to outsiders, but it's not crazy or without explanation.

I think everyone should travel it's good to actually experience something different.

Unfortunately, for most of our country that's not possible unless you consider a vacation to Mexico, Canada, or the Caribbean a "travel experience".

Yeah, predictable, but I was amused. :D

This much is true.

We have the opposite problem too: people who haven't been to 90% of the states in the country but travel the world over. There's a lot to see here. But we can get by with not ever seeing anything else.

It's kind of like getting used to going to a supermarket and thus never thinking you have a need to visit a butcher, a florist, a dairy, a bakery, etc.
